Arcade Text Formatting - Bold Text

ChantellKrider1 — Thu, 30 Jan 2020 19:07:22 GMT

I'm having difficulty formatting the following expression such that result will BOLD words indicated below.

I understand that the labeling expression should be "<BOL>" + $feature.LABELFIELD + "</BOL>

/*Eligibility*/
if($feature["Comm_Eligi"]=="Eligible") {
if($feature["UP_Eligibl"]=="Eligible") {
return("Your jurisdiction is eligible under the Communities in Need criteria and the required minimum match is " + $feature["Comm_Match"] + " percent." + Textformatting.NewLine + "Your jurisdiction also is eligible under the Underserved Populations criteria: map your project to determine the required minimum match." )
} else {
return("Your jurisdiction is eligible under the Communities in Need criteria and the required minimum match is " + $feature["Comm_Match"] + " percent.")
}
} else if($feature["Comm_Eligi"]=="Not Eligible") {
if($feature["UP_Eligibl"]=="Not Eligible") {
return("Your jurisdiction is not eligible for a match reduction.")
} else {
return("Your jurisdiction is eligible under the Underserved Populations criteria: map your project to determine the required minimum match.")
}
}

Hi chantell.krider_wa_rco ,

I assume this would be like this:

/*Eligibility*/
if ($feature["Comm_Eligi"]=="Eligible") {
    if ($feature["UP_Eligibl"]=="Eligible") {
        return("Your jurisdiction is eligible under the <BOL>Communities in Need</BOL> criteria and the required minimum match is " + $feature["Comm_Match"] + " percent." + Textformatting.NewLine + "Your jurisdiction also is eligible under the <BOL>Underserved Populations</BOL> criteria: map your project to determine the required minimum match." )
    } else {
        return("Your jurisdiction is eligible under the <BOL>Communities in Need</BOL> criteria and the required minimum match is " + $feature["Comm_Match"] + " percent.")
    }
} else if ($feature["Comm_Eligi"]=="Not Eligible") {
    if ($feature["UP_Eligibl"]=="Not Eligible") {
        return("Your jurisdiction is not eligible for a match reduction.")
    } else {
        return("Your jurisdiction is eligible under the <BOL>Underserved Populations</BOL> criteria: map your project to determine the required minimum match.")
    }
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Note that this might work in ArcGIS Pro, but not (yet) in ArcGIS Online.

Nope. The results are below.

Hi chantell.krider_wa_rco

As I mentioned in my previous post, this does not work (yet) in ArcGIS Online. To create the bold text in the pop-up in ArcGIS Online will require custom HTML configuration and multiple Arcade expressions.

ChantellKrider1 — Thu, 30 Jan 2020 20:49:59 GMT

Okay. Thank you for the help.

Re: Arcade Text Formatting - Bold Text

XanderBakker — Thu, 30 Jan 2020 20:57:01 GMT

Hi Chantell Krider ,

I can show you how to do this with the custom HTML configuration in combination with 4 Arcade expressions, if that's an option for you...

Re: Arcade Text Formatting - Bold Text

ChantellKrider1 — Thu, 30 Jan 2020 20:59:48 GMT

Yes. That would be awesome!

Hi Chantell Krider ,

Let me first explain the sample dataset I created. I have 4 points and added the Com_Eligi and UP_Eligibl values:

The attribute table looks like this:

You can see that I have 4 "Eligibility" fields added, containing "block" or "none". Those are the results of the Arcade expressions listed below:

// Eligibility1:
if (($feature["Comm_Eligi"]=="Eligible") && ($feature["UP_Eligibl"]=="Eligible")) {
        return "block";
} else {
        return "none";
}‍‍‍‍‍‍

// Eligibility2:
if (($feature["Comm_Eligi"]=="Eligible") && ($feature["UP_Eligibl"]=="Not Eligible")) {
        return "block";
} else {
        return "none";
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

// Eligibility3:
if (($feature["Comm_Eligi"]=="Not Eligible") && ($feature["UP_Eligibl"]=="Not Eligible")) {
        return "block";
} else {
        return "none";
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

// Eligibility4:
if (($feature["Comm_Eligi"]=="Not Eligible") && ($feature["UP_Eligibl"]=="Eligible")) {
        return "block";
} else {
        return "none";
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Those will appear numbered as 0 to 3 in the list of Arcade expressions in the pop-up configuration:

The next part is the configuration of the custom HTML pop-up:

Next hit the green "CONFIGURE" button and activate the "View HTML Source" in the Custom Attribute Display:

As HTML source you should copy and paste the following:

<span style="display:{expression/expr0}">Your jurisdiction is eligible under the <b>Communities in Need</b> criteria and the required minimum match is {Comm_Match} percent. <br />Your jurisdiction also is eligible under the <b>Underserved Populations</b> criteria: map your project to determine the required minimum match.</span>
<span style="display:{expression/expr1}">Your jurisdiction is eligible under the <b>Communities in Need</b> criteria and the required minimum match is {Comm_Match} percent.</span>
<span style="display:{expression/expr2}">Your jurisdiction is not eligible for a match reduction.</span>
<span style="display:{expression/expr3}">Your jurisdiction is eligible under the <b>Underserved Populations</b> criteria: map your project to determine the required minimum match.</span>‍‍‍‍

The result should be like this:

ChantellKrider1 — Thu, 30 Jan 2020 22:05:05 GMT

Impressive! I'm guessing I'll need to pre-populate the attribute table according to the "blocks" vs. "none". Is that correct? Thank you! I'll give it a try.

Hi chantell.krider_wa_rco ,

You do not have to change your data and add fields. The ones you are seeing are "virtual" fields created by the Arcade expressions.

Xander (or anyone with an idea) any thoughts on how I could bold portions of an Arcade Expression that are being by a for loop? Example:

Species: American Kestrel

Taxa: Bird

Occurrence Potential: Year Round

Species: Chestnut-collard Longspur

Taxa: Bird

Occurrence Potential: Winter Resident

I have the loop working but would like to Bold the Labels so it looks like:

Species: American Kestrel

Taxa: Bird

Occurrence Potential: Year Round

Since it is all being built by via a string variable inside the loop I don't believe the example above will work, and so far I haven't had any brilliant ideas for a solution. Thoughts?

Hi Shawn Lanning ,

In ArcGIS Pro you can do this using HTML.

Let's have a look what happens under the hood. In the configuration of the pop-up you will need to use the Text option:

When you configure the text options, you can switch on the HTML mode and you can see that the last line refers to the Arcade expression:

In the Arcade expression you loop through your species and add html tags around the field name to make them bold and use line breaks to create new lines. Something like this:

@XanderBakker Are there plans to add this functionality to ArcGIS Online?

Re: Arcade Text Formatting - Bold Text

XanderBakker — Thu, 25 Mar 2021 15:32:42 GMT

Hi @AllisonMuise2 ,

Sorry for the delay. I am sure we will have this functionality in the future, but unfortunately, I don't have an ETA.

Re: Arcade Text Formatting - Bold Text

AllisonMuise2 — Thu, 25 Mar 2021 15:51:01 GMT

If you need a use case: I'm building a popup for a tax parcels layer that contains geometry but relatively few attributes. Information on single family residences and land characteristics of that parcel are stored in stand-alone tables that each have dozens of attributes. I'd like to be able to include a table of SFR chars and a table of land chars in the tax parcel popup (or even control bolding and whitespace between label and value).

Currently, to build this structure, I need to query each table for each attribute individually which is prohibitively slow for this number of attributes. If I could return the formatting with the arcade expression, this could be done with a single query to each table.

This is great for popups, but any way to do this in labels? Here is what I have in Pro, which works fine:

"<BOL>" + $feature.FAC_TYPE + "</BOL>" + ' – ' + $feature.FAC_NAME

In ArcGIS Online, that shows up like this:

If I change it to the HTML standard of <B> and </B>, I just get those literal strings, just like above, but missing the "OL".

I thought Arcade was supposed to work across all platforms.

Any update on html formatting within an arcade expression in AGOL?

With the expression below, I'd like to make the fields "TIME:", "HR:", etc... be in bold.

// Access table as a FeatureSet
var portal = Portal("https://www.arcgis.com")
var vitals = FeatureSetByPortalItem(portal,
"4bdfd61b80b44a1ea57a299f4f09b176", 1, ['vital_time','vital_pulse','vital_rr','vital_bp','vital_sp','vital_pupil','vital_csm','vital_cardiac','vital_eyes','vital_verbal','vital_motor','vital_gcs'])

// Filter related features by using a common attribute
var globalid = $feature.globalid
var filterStatement = 'parentglobalid = @globalid'

// Related features as a variable
var relatedData = Filter(vitals, filterStatement)

// Sort related features by oldest to newest
var relatedDataSorted = OrderBy(relatedData, 'CreationDate')

// Build the pop-up string by iterating through all related features
var popupString = ''
for (var f in relatedDataSorted)
{
popupString += "TIME: " + DefaultValue(f.vital_time,'_')
+ " HR: " + DefaultValue(f.vital_pulse,'_')
+ " BP: " + DefaultValue(f.vital_bp,'_')
+ " RR: " + DefaultValue(f.vital_rr,'_')
+ " SPO2: " + DefaultValue(f.vital_sp,'_')
+ " PUPILS: " + DefaultValue(f.vital_pupil,'_')
+ " CSM: " + DefaultValue(f.vital_csm,'_')
+ TextFormatting.NewLine + "CARDIAC MONITOR: " + DefaultValue(f.vital_cardiac,'_')
+ TextFormatting.NewLine + "EYES: " + DefaultValue(f.vital_eyes,'_')
+ " VERBAL: " + DefaultValue(f.vital_verbal,'_')
+ " MOTOR: " + DefaultValue(f.vital_motor,'_')
+ " GCS SCORE: " + DefaultValue(f.vital_gcs,'_')
}

DefaultValue(popupString, 'No Vitals Taken')

I would like to see this functionality extended to ArcGIS Pro tables. My use case:

-I have a road map with index grid and would like to bold attributes that only contain 1 character (A, B, C etc.) to make my 'legend' a little easier to navigate
